    Masters of List Management

    Just a little reminder to all the critics of our salary cap/list management. NO club has done as well with their list management as us. With only two Top 10 draft picks, we have been a step ahead in Drafting/Trading and Free Agency, which has been complimented by some of the best rookie list elevations and development coaching that you will ever see. This all seems to have been lost over the past couple of seasons, as our ongoing success has all been put down to the COLA.

    Rhyce Shaw - Traded in from Collingwood
    Jarrad McVeigh - Pick 5
    Dan Hannebery - Pick 30
    Ryan O'Keefe - Pick 56
    Tom Mitchell - Father/Son
    Harry Cunningham - Rookie List
    Kurt Tippett - Pre-Season Draft (Adelaide)
    Nick Malceski - Pick 64
    Zak Jones - Pick 15
    Jeremy Laidler - Traded in from Carlton
    Josh Kennedy - Traded in from Hawthorn
    Craig Bird - NSW Scholarship (Nelson Bay)
    Kieren Jack - Rookie List
    Gary Rohan - Pick 6
    Tom Derickx - Traded in from Richmond
    Sam Reid - Pick 38
    Ben McGlynn - Traded in from Hawthorn
    Dean Towers - Pick 22
    Buddy Franklin - Free Agent (Hawthorn)
    Dane Rampe - Rookie List
    Ted Richards - Traded in from Essendon
    Luke Parker - Pick 40
    Lewis Roberts-Thomson - Pick 29
    Lewis Jetta - Pick 14
    Brandon Jack - Rookie List
    Alex Johnson - Pick 57
    Adam Goodes - Pick 43
    Mike Pyke - International Rookie
    Heath Grundy - Rookie List
    Nick Smith - Rookie List
    Jake Lloyd - Rookie List
    Shane Biggs - Rookie List

    Maybe that is why Eddie wanted Horse to work with him on the international series. So he could learn how to run A club

    Yep. Someone pointed out that against Carlton with a squillion (OK maybe 8? 10?) top 12 picks, we fielded just three. Took me a little while to figure out who they were

    What annoys me is that the only thing that is talked about is getting Tippett and Buddy when we won our premierships without them! Plus after explaining 500 million times that the cola is spread over ALL players, everyone still says that we use it to pay for Buddy and Tippett.

    And the whining about the academy when we haven't even drafted anyone yet. They don't seem to realise that without the academy some of these players would not be playing AFL.

    Laidler wasn't even worthy of a trade by Carlton. He was delisted and we picked him up in the preseason draft.

    I still keep chuckling about that. He plays in our firsts while Malthouse lauds our reserves as being the best depth he has ever seen. Obviously not good enough to be a Carlton flog, though.

    Without checking my facts, Derickx was picked up after being delisted also wasn't he?

    Both Laidler and Derickx were picked up as delisted free agents and cost us nothing. I wonder if any other clubs would have added them to their list. I think not.
    I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED!!!!!

    Some idiot called up SEN to support Eddie and give some "facts". He said that we got the Jack brothers as freebies. Unbelievable!
